We're very excited to announce the return of our Yorkshire Beer Festival 2009!

With the most comprehensive range of beers we've ever offered, we have a barrel from EVERY SINGLE BREWERY in Yorkshire that is currently brewing, together with our full range of Timothy Taylor Championship Beers.

As always, the magnificent Majestic Brass will play on Friday night, with the famous Hammersmith Morris Men dancing on Saturday afternoon. We kick off at 5pm on Thursday 26th February until 10.30pm Sunday 1st March.
